Description datavirtue 2009-01-19 03:51:59 UTC 
I have three projects open and while working in the "main" project I sometimes drill down into my other project of 
which my main project is dependent and I notice that in a class which holds some of my static methods some of the 
code, several lines, has disappeared from one or more methods.  Fortunatly the ending brackets have been erased in the 
known instances of this happening genrating an error.

I've been using netbeans for years now, I just recently started using the SE (39mb download) version of 6.5.

Seems like the bug related to "Editor" so that I am reassigning - please evaluate. Thanks.
Comment 2 Jiri Prox 2009-01-19 11:54:02 UTC 
Hi,

I've never seem such problems before. Is the project in some version control or is it possible that some external
process changed the source?
Comment 3 Vitezslav Stejskal 2009-01-19 12:22:02 UTC 
Could you please attach the IDE's log file here (ie. <ide-userdir>/var/log/messages.log)? Do you have any idea how to
reproduce the problem? Thanks
Comment 4 David Strupl 2009-03-31 15:48:09 UTC 
Resolving all issues with milestone "future" as LATER. If you feel strongly that
it should be implemented please reopen and set the target milestone to "next".

Comment 6 datavirtue 2011-06-01 12:20:50 UTC 
No, there is no version control in use. I have also had menus lose their form properties. It has resulted in me not using MenuBar for the JFrame. I had to code everything by hand for my application window. 

These things don't just happen. The bug needs to stay logged until it is fixed/reproduced. Bumping it down for administrative purposes is counter-productive. I don't care under where it is logged, but it needs to be available for review. Disappearing code in a production level IDE is not funny. It has not repeated, but I have had other code disappear also. I'm a lone developer and the only person touching the project. I'm not seeing things, and nothing is wrong with my system. I've been using Netbeans since 2006.

NOT RESOLVED.
